Vydianathan was born on November 4, 1927 in Kerala. He had his
education at Madurai. He had his musical training under Uma
Maheswara Bhagavathar and Bagavatheeswara Bhagavathar.
His `manaseeka guru’, however, was GNB. He followed the
GNB style of rendering music. He started giving concerts from
1950. He had also acted as "Saint Thyagaraja" in the
drama "The Life of Thyagaraja", held in 1955 at R.R.
Sabha, Kolkatta. Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar witnessed the drama.

of Thyagaraja's compositions "Nagumomu" in Aberi,
`Balakanakamaya’ in Ataana and `Evarani’ in Naagachintamani,’’
